Logging all exceptions

Rails
1

Hey everyody,

what is the best way to log all exceptions that are thrown in my
Rails application into a database table? I need some kind of hook in
the Rails exception methods?!

I already tried the Exception Logger plugin but that is not what I
want.

I just want to log all exceptions into a database table without
needing to call own methods everywhere I expect an exception.

Thank you!
Lennart

Maybe you could use callbacks?

Lennart,

You might consider using Exceptional for this.

Save yourself the extra work…

Thank you, Robby. The problem is that I want to build the database
exception logging into the Rails web interface of a free software
project. (www.scopeport.org)
I don’t want to force users to subscribe to another service if they
want help. (But Exceptional looks very cool. I might consider using it
for other projects)

I will take a look at the callback thing. Thank you pepe.

So long
Lennart
